Common Causes and Types of Depression
There are many forms of depression and each one can affect people differently. Symptoms vary greatly from one person to another but generally include a persistent feeling of sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, or guilt.
Depression can appear at any time and can be influenced by several different factors that can all play a role in the formation of a depressive disorder. Here are some of the causes of depression:
- Genetics
- Death or loss
- Illness

Depression Therapy: How Does It Work?
Talk therapy is the most common approach to treating depression. Different types of therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people identify negative thinking patterns and learn how to adjust or replace them with more positive, constructive ways of thinking.
Antidepressant medication and therapeutic techniques can enhance the effects of psychotherapy and also help you manage depression symptoms in the short-term and long-term. Your therapist will guide you through the process that will work best for you and adjust your treatment as necessary along the way.
Depressive disorders shouldn’t keep you away from the people, activities, and places you love the most. If you’re ready to take the first step towards depression therapy, consider meeting with a mental health professional at Thriveworks Counseling in Flowood, MS.
